Hi .........we have bought up an second hand instrument with a sysem having windows 3.1..........but i am not alble to install new printeers on it..........also the USP port are not able to detect pendrives............is there any kind of software that can make a pdf file in windows 3.1 .......please help........
@kitkatbar3003 my computer is an ast advantage pro. It was my grandmas first computer, and I still have the original mouse monitor and keyboard. Don't you love ancient technology!
I think i actually used a windows 3.1 system several times before. I used to go to a friends house back in 2001 and play red alert on it. I'm very sure I remember the ta da sound on start up.
I have that same compaq computer. Do you know where they sell power supplies and motherboards for that model. My power supply exploded and my board had something I don't know.
My family had a 486 Compaq tower like that one. And I customized the desktop with a cat drawing, too :) Our installer disk set also came with a Compaq-branded version of TabWorks, which we used instead of Program Manager.
I miss when PC's made high pitch beeping sounds and HDD noises when you turn them on. Now they are all silent. The last time I went on a 1990's era PC was in 2009 I went on an IBM PC released probably in 1996 and it had Windows 98 Original on it.
I feel very very old because I remember having one of those though not that brand but certainly I remember that startup. Thank you for making me feel OLD OLD OLD.
I remember the square mouse and playing 'Descent' and 'Descent II' on a 133mhz Pentium that was extremely cutting edge at its time. It cost over 3000 dollars since we had a computer guy custom build it for us. It had an astronomical 1.6Gb harddrive and a whopping 32mb of RAM. And of course the blazing fast 4X Cd-ROM. Those were the days when Cd-ROMs were measured in speeds based on "X". To top it off, it came with speakers and a SUPER VGA monitor. Talk about super, right?
bought one that looks just like it for 5 bucks at a garage sale :D, runs MS-DOS like a champ... or at least good enough for 16 bit assembly programming
ha I remember those days! I lol when I saw windows 3.1 flash up. Took soooo long to boot up too and that HD is noisy! How much memory and space is in that bad boy?
@EbuTuoyEto Nothing "has the internet" You can't own the internet, dumbass. However, if you installed a LAN card in a PCI or ISA slot, then it probably could ACCESS the internet.
